-           F#m
Once upon a thrill from a kiss to a swill
        Bm             F#m
We were swallowing the nights like we have nine lives
Bm            A
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
Bm            A
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so...
        Bm         F#m
We were borderline kids with a book of disorders
    Bm           F#m
Medicating every day to keep the straightness in order
Bm            A
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
Bm            A                         Bm
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone


[Pre-Chorus]
D                      C#7            F#m          E
 It's the false side of hope, where believers concede
            D                       C#7
And there's only memories when it's over


[Chorus]
-                A      F#m             D
So pour out some liquor, make it an old fashioned
              A                      F#m                   D
Remember your youth and all that you do, the plank and the passion
              A                            C#m        D
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
              F#m                          E          C#7
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
        F#m
Of your life


[Verse 2]
-           F#m
Once upon before we were brilliant and bored
    Bm            F#m
Two dashes of the bitters, add some ice and you pour
Bm            A
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
Bm            A                          Bm
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone


[Pre-Chorus]
D                      C#7            F#m          E
 It's the false side of hope, where believers concede
            D                       C#7
And there's only memories when it's over


[Chorus]
-                A      F#m             D
So pour out some liquor, make it an old fashioned
              A                      F#m                   D
Remember your youth and all that you do, the plank and the passion
              A                            C#m        D
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
              F#m                          E          C#7
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
        F#m
Of your life


[Bridge]
     F#m
(Get boozy, boozy, boozy)
                    Bm
Now it looks like a wasteland
     F#m
(Get boozy, boozy, boozy)
                      Bm
Not the way that we remember
     F#m
(Get boozy, boozy, boozy)
                     Bm
One more sip for the past
     F#m
(Get boozy, boozy, boozy)
                       Bm
And always tip your bartender
    F#m                   Bm
Get boozy, boozy, boozy
    F#m                   Bm
Get boozy, boozy, boozy
    F#m                   Bm
Get boozy, boozy, boozy
    -
Get boo...


[Last Chorus]
-                A      F#m             D
So pour out some liquor, make it an old fashioned
              A                      F#m                   D
Remember your youth and all that you do, the plank and the passion
              A                            C#m        D
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
              F#m                          E          C#7
They were the best of times, they were the best of times...
